True Shape Nesting
SigmaNEST True Shape Nesting expands the functionality of the AutoNEST package with the addition of true shape nesting – including true shape part in part nesting – and multiple sheet nesting on rectangular sheets.
This page provides detailed information on the True Shape Nesting package. Summaries of just the differences between the less capable AutoNEST package and True Shape Nesting and between True Shape Nesting and the next level, Remnant Nesting package, are also available.
General Usability
- Almost every aspect of the product can be configured.
- Auto Save automatically saves parts whenever they are changed and saves snapshots of the work space at specified time intervals.
- Up to 10 versions of the work space are saved and any previous revision can be re-opened.
- Quickly zoom in and out with mouse wheel. Zooming is centered on the mouse pointer, effectively allowing a simultaneous pan and zoom.
- Batch facility allows sequences of operations to be stored in a file and "played back" as a unit whenever needed.
